The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified chronic bronchitis J42.
BRONCHITIS AND BRONCHIOLITIS CODESAcute bronchitis, unspecifiedJ20.9Acute bronchiolitis, unspecifiedJ21.9
Bronchiolitis is a lung infection that's usually caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which produces swelling and mucus production in the small breathing tubes of your child's lungs. Infections are most common during the winter and typically affect children under two years of age.
9: Acute bronchitis, unspecified.
Note: Code J44. 0 includes a note that says “use additional code to identify infection.” The infection has been identified as acute bronchitis (J20. 9) so this code should be added in addition to the others. Note: There is an exclusion note under J44* (COPD) for emphysema without chronic bronchitis.
Acute Bronchitis due to COVID-19, J20. 8, Acute bronchitis due to other specified organisms, and B97. 29, Other coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere.
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. People who have bronchitis often cough up thickened mucus, which can be discolored. Bronchitis may be either acute or chronic.
J40Bronchitis, not specified as acute or chronic J40 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J40 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Both can be caused by a virus. Both affect the airways in the lungs, but bronchitis affects the larger airways (the bronchi). Bronchiolitis affects the smaller airways (bronchioles). Bronchitis usually affects older children and adults, while bronchiolitis is more common in younger children.
The big difference between these two conditions — and you might not be able to feel it — is which part of the respiratory system is affected. Bronchitis affects the bronchial tubes that carry air to your lungs. Pneumonia affects the air sacs, called alveoli, where oxygen passes into your blood.
The most common cause of bronchiolitis is a virus. At first, the virus causes an infection in the upper respiratory tract. This includes the nose, mouth, and throat. It then spreads downward into the windpipe (trachea) and lungs (lower respiratory tract).
An acute or chronic inflammatory process affecting the bronchi. Inflammation (swelling and reddening) of the bronchi. Inflammation of the large airways in the lung including any part of the bronchi, from the primary bronchi to the tertiary bronchi.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
